Ah yes - the kitchen - well it's underway - the planning chap is coming this afternoon - the budget is agreed - i have given in to the choice of worktops. We just have to get it installed, floor and walls tiled, the knock through to the dining room completed etc etc

Surely all of that can be completed in a couple of weeks leaving plenty of time to choose a location to stay (Rotonda looks good) - easy!

I think it is likely that we will be there from 15th April until 2nd May - so we will probably miss you PA - sorry!

We would fly into Orlando - I like the little train that is there and the security folks are so kindly.

THere are no direct flights from UK to Ft Myers - I think, so that's a no no really. I enjoy the run down from Orlando - we get to stop in exciting out the way places where they don't get so many pasty white Welsh people. It really is a great deal more interesting to stop at a Pizza Hut with a load of truck drivers. Incidentally every time we visit a Pizza Hut there is always a cop there - is this a rule for US Pizza Huts? Or are they afraid someone is gonna hit the hut?

Yes, just have to work on Diane now to convince her that we can complete the works in time to holiday in Florida.

Do you have one of those big nets for skimming the bugs off the surface of the pool - or should I bring mine?

You've just reminded me that everytime I visited a Hut in Michigan there was a cop in there. And there was one in the Tucson one I visited. It must be a standard duty stop for them in that case. Probably just before Dunkin Donuts.
